Wiring the fuel guage!

Guest

Hi guys, hopefully someone over there is still awake.

My fuel guage is playing up, and has been since I got the car. You run for about 120 miles and then the guage moves off full, and if you let it get to 1/4 tank, you will be walking.

I'm working on it right now, and there are three wires to the fuel sender in the top of the tank.

White with black trace to one of the sender male contacts, black to earth on a sender bolt and a loose yellow wire that isn't connected to anything. Seems factory loom and there is provision for a second wire to attach to the sender, but I'd rather be sure before plugging it in.

Also, if the guage is reading as described above, should I bend the float upwards or downwards to try and gain more accuracy?
